My sons want to shoot out t-shirts at their basketball games into the bleachers with our business name on the shirts. Fun way to advertise our business, and of course they want to make their own t-shirt launcher. I thought I'd check here to see if anyone else have ever made one?

Thanks!

just make a large slingshot...safer and easy

I was thinking a potato gun, the plans are all over the 'net

I've got a link to a video on making a t-shirt cannon on my myspace page. You can check it out here.

Good luck. If you make one let us know how it works. I have not tried it yet.

I saw this, but we didn't want to have to use a tire pump. We're thinking along the lines of a CO2 tank.

My son is thinking about buying a used paintball gun and revamping it. I was hoping someone would have made one that could give advice!

I was thinking the same thing. A few pieces of PVC pipe .a grill ignitor, and some ether and Bam !!. ..... JB

i still think a large sling shot would be better........all you need is 2-3 people and a larger excersie band.....

Oh, I agree!

But, in my case, I have 3 sons... 17, 19, and 23. They're not going to settle with a slingshot.

A friend made one ..It launched a spud to where you could'nt see it. A wide pipe would launch tees not to far...I'll see if he has plans or maybe I can find some. It looked quite easy...and not dangerous unless one was to get stupid w/ the ether.

OK...that's a great idea!

Yea...those boys aren't going to settle for a sling-shot...unless maybe it was made from a very large bra.

Seriously though, let us know how this progresses.

Did this work out right? Anyway this is what I seen and it was great. A wider tube and a way to protectthe shirts from the propellant as it was launched. I can see this working real well.(insert disclaimer) I doubt a school would let you near the building tho'
I'm interested in this little project..am busy for a couple of days and will head over to a friends(Remember mcGiver?t.v.) for some input.
anyway will try to get some plans before the weekend.
cheers

Your link came out just fine. The only problem with one like this is the size. We want something portable, yet inexpensive. (Which is why we don't spend the $700 for the tshirt gun.)www.tshirtgun.com

I think using a C02 tank is probably going to be the way to go...

Haha that is funny. Im trying to get hold of my buddy, he is a bit of a mcgyver. I think the air release is the way to go,

Those links were too cool, I'm thinking multiple shirts tho'.
worked in a carnival for awhile and would see the game people literally draw a crowd into a frenzy by making a big fuss out of the winners of large stuffed animals, people trippin' over their wallets to get a piece of the action...ahhh
the gypsy in me

STEP 1: Call your insurance company. If that doesn't work STEP 2: Call your attorney. If that doesn't work STEP 3: Call a bail bondsman.
